I am not actually a collector of Murano glass specifically but I think I had a good buy with the following:

Went to a boot fair & picked up a piece of blue glass, signed on the bottom. After extensive research (the writing is etched & really loopy, hard to read) - I figured out the letters deMajo, Murano, followed by Y Ohira 1994.

From what I have since read about this guy he would appear to be rather popular! It is a blue bottle/vase with a bulbous bit near the top, in perfect condition.

Can anyone give me any other info on this piece (can email photos if necessary) - I think this is what is termed one of his 'early' pieces as he seems to have worked in Murano for only about 10/12 years.
